Weekend Recap

Saturday morning was busy -- thankfully Ripi was good to go and we didn't need to take her to the vet. But later that morning I had scheduled a strategic meeting for the non-profit group that I chair. So that took some planning and organizing. Luckily, Chuck had been helping me during the week so most of the running around was done. He also picked up a delicious ring sandwich from Claros! (our favorite Italian deli in Tustin).

After the meeting, we got home just in time to get ready for our friend Marc & Joo's wedding. After dating for 5 years, they are official. It was a backyard wedding, very intimate. We had a great time.






Sunday, we started off the morning kind of slow but eventually ramped up by mid-afternoon. We devoted time to the Garden Expansion Project - I guess this was phase II (check out the slide show). Using his brutal strength, Chuck was able to dig out the grapefruit tree and stump. This means we're ready to measure and order more high quality, grade A "planters mix" for the garden. I always wondered where people got the mounds of dirt from, apparently if you call any gravel/rock mining company and they will sell dirt in addition to pavers, sand, sand bags, regular dirt, etc. We're probably going to go with Planters Mix since it's 50% sand, 50% compost -- should be good for my garden!
